Well, only YOU or YOUR friend can answer whether or not to spend extra 110 US$ more.

On a friendly note, if your friend can afford this:

I'm sure He can afford that much knowing what He spent already is topping over $3K
btw I liked that Cooler and can only suggest that reason because the Psu, Case are already bought.

get 4gb if you are using multi-monitor setup. Else it would be a waste of money and memory.

4GB will show its strength on 5760X1080 (3x 1920X1080 Displays)

currently at 2560x1600p and no plans to go x2/x3 any soon but still even on 1600p I think it does make some difference especially in games like BF3 .. wouldn't it?

I think that 4gb will only going to affect if you cross the barrier of 1600p.

Battlefield takes in between 1.25GB to 1.5GB vRAM.

Battlefield3 on 2560X1920 will never be able to fill up 2GB of VRAM

[Baghi]

On 2560x1600 4GB of vRAM would be overkill. Battlefield 3 is that game which can consume 3GB vRAM even when it's not needed.

What I meant was Battlefield 3 is that kinda game if you've 1.5GB of vRAM in total even then it'll work just fine but if you've something like HD 7970 3GB it'll easily take over 2GB video memory. This game can hog whatever you through at it.

There is one interesting game to look at right now for video card memory usage, and that is Battlefield 3 multiplayer. There is a big difference between the VRAM usage in single player and multiplayer. When we cranked this game up in a 64 player server at the highest in-game settings we saw it get near to 5 GB of VRAM usage on Radeon HD 7970 at 4X AA at 5760x1200. This game seems certainly capable of maximizing VRAM usage on video cards in multiplayer in NV Surround or Eyefinity resolutions. It makes us really want to try out 4GB, or higher video cards. A couple of 4GB GTX 680 video cards are looking real interesting to us right now in this game, and from what rumors we have heard, Galaxy is very likely to make this happen for us.

Even at that resolution is that even possible?

Shit! this thing is competing with pallit jetsream 4gb variant of 680 and even ahead of it in most of the game's benches
and look at those load temperatures
hoping its price be reasonable also. maybe 430-440$
